Why choose Mandelbrot Metal 3?

Serious precision.
Extraordinary freedom.

A great fractal explorer should help you go deeper, stay in control, and create something worth keeping. MM 3 brings those ambitions together in your hands.

01 / DEPTH

A new engine for a deeper world.

The Infinity Engine combines adaptive GPU perturbation with high-precision reference calculations to support Mandelbrot exploration up to 10²⁵×. That extends the validated ceiling by nine orders of magnitude beyond MM 2.2.

02 / CONTROL

Precision you can feel.

Compensated navigation preserves tiny movements when ordinary coordinates lose them. Pan, pinch, and double-tap with smoother previews while detail refines from the center outward and clearer progress shows what’s happening.

03 / CREATION

From exploration to a finished image.

Shape the scene with rich palettes, save your discoveries, and render a complete PNG on your device. Canvas capture is included in Free; Pro adds high-resolution output, custom palettes, and 3D lighting.

Useful depth and render time vary with the location, iteration budget, and device. The 10²⁵× ceiling applies to Mandelbrot exploration. Explore the rendering technology

How do I get the lifetime Pro upgrade?

Get Mandelbrot Metal before version 3 launches. Verified owners of a pre-v3 version receive permanent Pro access at no additional charge when they upgrade. Existing eligible owners are included too.

Yes. Your saved bookmarks remain supported. Version 3 comes with over 50 of our favorite Mandelbrot and Julia bookmarks, ready to explore from your first launch. The starter collection is added once on new installs and upgrades. Your existing bookmarks are kept, matching bookmarks are not duplicated, and starters you delete stay deleted.

What else is new?

A refreshed opening experience supports Reduce Motion. Guidance and interface text have been updated across all 16 supported languages, alongside clearer render progress, improved gesture previews, and reliable complete-image capture.

Which devices can I use?
